Hey there,
i have a domain (.de-domain, registered with netcup) that i would like to use for my email-provider, but i am hesitant.
Why i am hesitant: I don’t want that people might be able to find out my name/adress that is registered with my domain. If some service does not need my personal data, i simply don’t want them to be able to access them. It’s as simple as that.
I read that a whois-check could reveal my data, but the situation seems more complicated. At least, i couldn’t reveal my personal data with a whois-check.
Why i would like to use my own domain: I want to be more independent from my mail-provider.
I am not that tech-savvy, so sorry if this is a silly question. I tried searching, but didn’t found anything, probably because keywords like domain bring up lots of different topics.
Getting a domain at for example https://njal.la/ will keep you private, Njalla will buy the domain and they will own it for you, maybe not ideal but your contact info will not be searchable.
To be fair. You never own any domain. That is why I need to pay monthly fees. Each domain name even dot Com etc are all renting.
… You’re not the registrant then, does that satisfy your semantics?
